the vehicle in order to register the vehicle with the Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources. Thereafter, Mr. Colyer contacted Trooper Trent Hurley of the PSP Auto Theft Unit.
3. On (or about) October 17, 2001, Trooper Hurley inspected the vehicle at PSP
Carlisle. From a subsequent search of the National Crime Information Center ("NCIC")
database and National Insurance Crime Bureau ("NICB") records, he was able to identify the
..
· EXHIBIT
I 'P-S'P" 8"
VIN as JY43GDA04RA108965. The records further identified Foremost Insurance Company,
Grand Rapids, MI, as the owner of the vehicle.
4. On (or about) October 27,2001, Trooper Hurley identified the vehicle as stolen.
To date, the vehicle remains on the impound lot at PSP Carlisle.
5. On (or about) November 2, 2001, Foremost Insurance Company was notified by
Trooper Hurley of the vehicle's recovery. At that time, Foremost Insurance Company advised
Trooper Hurley that it had paid Mr. Hydock's insurance claim in full and was the sole proprietor
of the vehicle.
6. On November 2,2001, February 19, 2002 and March 19,2002, Trooper Hurley
faxed Notices of Motor Vehicle Recovery (Form SP7-0055) to Foremost Insurance Company to
the attention of William Troxel, Claims Adjuster, which explained the procedure by which
Foremost could claim the vehicle.
7. Trooper Hurley's ongoing investigation revealed that Mr. Gettel had acquired the
vehicle from Rick Gilbert, 459 "B" Street, Carlisle, P A on August 22, 1996. Mr. Gilbert, in turn,
had acquired the vehicle from Sterling Moyer, Pine Grove, PA on or about July 19, 1996. And
Mr. Moyer had acquired the vehicle in an exchange with Bobby Weiss, Pottsville, PA prior
thereto.
8. On August 22, 2002, Foremost Insurance Company returned the Notice of Motor
Vehicle Recovery (Form SP7-0055) via fax to Trooper Hurley stating that the insurance
company waived its proprietary interest in the vehicle. A copy of the signed Notice of Motor
Vehicle Recovery (Form SP7-0055) is affixed hereto as Exhibit "A".
9. On March 4, 2003, William Troxel executed an affidavit indicating that Foremost
Insurance Company relinquished all rights in, and title to, the vehicle. A copy of William
Troxel's affidavit is affixed hereto as Exhibit "B".
10. The current owner of this vehicle, Foremost Insurance Company, and the victim
from whom this vehicle was stolen, Joseph Hydock, are being served with a copy of this petition
as set forth in the attached Certificate of Service.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Pennsylvania State Police, respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court issue an order authorizing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to take
ownership of the 1994 Yamaha Warrior ATV, VIN JY43 GDA04RA 1 08965, with the vehicle to
be titled in the name of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Respectfully submitted,
